From time to time, people tell me, “Lighten up, it’s just a rabbit,”
or, “That’s a lot of money for just a rabbit.”
They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the
costs involved for “just a rabbit.”
Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a rabbit.”
Many hours have passed when my only company was “just a rabbit,” but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by “just a rabbit,”
and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of “just a rabbit”
gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it’s “just a rabbit,” then you will probably
understand phases like “just a friend,” “just a sunrise,” or “just a promise.”
“Just a rabbit”, brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.
“Just a rabbit”, brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.
Because of “just a rabbit”, I will rise early, and look longingly to the future.
So for me and folks like me, it’s not “just a rabbit” but an
embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future; the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
“Just a rabbit” brings out what’s good in me, and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it’s not “just a rabbit,”
but the thing that keeps me from being “just a human.”
So the next time you hear the phrase “just a rabbit.” just smile,
because they…
….”just don’t understand.”

We have all heard those words all too often. It must be so sad for people who have never been loved by or loved by 'just a rabbit'!

I am sending you some extra hugs as you approach the anniversary of Morse going to the bridge. His body may be gone, but his heart and soul melded together so you and Morse became a part of each other. It is a bond so strong that you will always be together.

He was, and is, never 'just' a rabbit. Anyone who has truly taken the time to get to know their rabbits properly should know that.

I hope the great Inspector is watching you and your family particularly closely at the moment. But I probably don't even need to wish that. But I understand how the presence of spirit of one loved and lost is never enough...
